Tesla decided to accept payments in bitcoins in February, but suspended it in May. She justified this at the time by concerns about the negative environmental impact of the so-called mining of this digital currency, which consumes large amounts of energy. The cryptocurrency responded with a decrease of about ten percent.
“Tesla will resume receiving bitcoins, it’s very likely,” Musk said. He added that he himself holds the cryptocurrencies bitcoin, ethereum and dogecoin. His companies Tesla and SpaceX only own bitcoins.
Shortly after 9 p.m., Bitcoin added about six percent to $ 31,700 (690,000 crowns) on the Bitstamp stock exchange. At the same time, Ethereum had almost eight percent good, selling for about $ 1,940 (42,000 crowns).
